(Words MacM !@#*/O'Riordan, music: Costello)
I favour a good punishing kiss
it helps pass the lonely afternoon

another stiff drink, wipe off that lipstick
For when you reach a certain age
All the most villainous men can be found on Channel Ten

I make them dance in attendance
'We will be back in a minute or two'
And he will punish that girl

Oh forget the reason
Just look at me I'm lost in a social whirl
She was never so witty

Always struggling to be full of fun
'On weekdays
From mid-day to one'

In a little black @@#!tail dress everyone hates
She'll be saving the world inbetween fashion plates
I know what she gets up to in the back of that blacked out limousine

And I catch myself shouting at the screen
I think that it's time to turn over
They say it's harmless I know

A hundred and ten percent certain
Virtually real
If you need something to feel

Then favour a punishing kiss
It helps chase the wasted afternoons
The flowers and pearls

The long lost relations
That love sick tom-boy comes in bloom
The pointless heartache

That seems to belong in my blue room
Can't stand the suspense
The endless embraces

Each episode lends the silly pretence
Say I can look away when I will never miss it
Starts with a joke

And ends with a punishing kiss
